01. Getting Started
Updated 2 hours agoGetting Started
MidgardPlus ships with every setting at its vanilla value. Install it and nothing changes until you decide something should. That is deliberate: you should be able to add this to a running world without explaining anything to the people already playing on it.
Install with a mod manager
The one-click route. In r2modman or the Thunderstore app, search MidgardPlus and install. The two dependencies come with it:
- BepInEx Pack for Valheim (
denikson-BepInExPack_Valheim) - Jotunn (
ValheimModding-Jotunn), version 2.30.0 or newer
Launch the game through the manager, not through Steam, or the manager's profile is skipped.
Install by hand
- Install BepInEx for Valheim. Run the game once so it builds its folders.
- Install Jotunn 2.30.0 or newer. Older versions will not work; see below.
- Drop
MidgardPlus.dllintoValheim/BepInEx/plugins/.
Jotunn 2.30.0 is a hard requirement
Jotunn 2.29.2 throws a MissingFieldException on PieceTable.m_availablePieces against current
Valheim, which leaves a character stuck in a respawn loop. That is a Jotunn problem, not a
MidgardPlus one, but it will look like ours. MidgardPlus checks the Jotunn version on startup and
writes a clear line to the log if it is too old, rather than failing quietly.
First launch
Start the game once with the mod installed. It writes its config to:
Valheim/BepInEx/config/midgardplus.cfg
Every setting has its description, type, default and allowed range written above it in that file. You can edit it in any text editor, or use the MidgardPlus Launcher if you would rather not.
To confirm it loaded, open Valheim/BepInEx/LogOutput.log and look for:
[Info : MidgardPlus] Registered companion creature.
[Info : MidgardPlus] Registered Companion Horn.
[Info : MidgardPlus] Registered Reinforced Chest.
What you actually get
- 29 settings across quality of life, player, building, combat, production, world, companions and containers. All at vanilla by default.
- A Companion Horn that calls a Dverger companion you can name, gear, feed and keep.
- A Reinforced Chest, 8x4 instead of the usual 5x4.
- Recipes for Chain, Iron Nails and Tar, which vanilla only lets you find.
- Optional crafting from nearby chests.
Where to go next
- Companions for the horn, the bag and how gearing works
- Settings Reference for every setting, its default and its range
- Multiplayer and Dedicated Servers before you put this on a server
- Console and Spawning for prefab names and test commands
- Troubleshooting if something is not loading
